Abilities:
Bladesurge: Irelia dashes forward to strike her target. If it kills the target, Bladesurge's cooldown refreshes and half the mana cost is refunded.
Hiten Style: Irelia is skilled in the art of Hiten, passively giving her physical attacks health restoration. Activating Hiten Style adds true damage to her physical attacks for a short duration.
Equilibrium Strike: Irelia's attack balances the scales, dealing damage and slowing the target. However, if the target has a higher Health % than Irelia, then the blow stuns the target instead.
Transcendent Blades (Ultimate): Irelia summons four spirit blades which she can fling at her enemies. These blades deal magic damage to enemies that they pass through, siphoning life from them and healing Irelia.
Ionian Fervor (Passive): Each nearby enemy champion (to a maximum of three) reduces the effectiveness of Crowd Control on Irelia.
Sounds like the potential for a solid tank to me. Decent CC becomes great CC if you attack her, she has an initiating move, she attacks for true damage (no need for pesky items), she can heal herself if she does get focused, and she's CC-resistant. Reminds me of Olaf, which means everyone's going to start by saying "no, you idiot, she's melee DPS!"
Thank you:

Olaf's wife. Wonder how effective she will be in jungle.

she is visually impressive but in practice not stellar.

She's probably a pretty good jungler, with AS runes, considering her W is passive lifesteal. But I was thinking she looked more like a AP melee carry, maybe a little tanky?

Has test realm play been more successful as DPS or tank?

Er...off topic, but isn't he melee DPS? I'm aware he builds tanky, but I was of the impression that role-wise in team-fights he wasn't a tank. More of "ruin the enemy carry's day" rather than "keep the enemies off your squishies".

She plays like a more agressive version of akali with less defenses

So was I right in thinking as soon as i saw her skillset that we are just getting another assassin masked as a melee DPS? Wonder when they are going to make a real melee DPS

She's a lot harder to stop in teamfights than akali due to a number of factors.
But in the end she just seems very assassiny.

The day a hero comes out that can tank and dish out damage better than say, Nasus is the day LoL is pretty fucked balance-wise. The last hero that could do this to an extent was Xin Zhao and it took nary a day for Noah's Ark to be required lest humanity be drowned in nerd tears.

So her ult is a skillshot correct?
That sounds fun :3
|
Anyone else read the name of her W and immediately think of Rurouni Kenshin?
Reading her skillset she seems a lot more like Akali then a tank, though she can probably be built beefy and still be fine. IMO Her passive is really good.

Uta and I were chatting, I bought it up, both of us immediately went like Hiten Mitsurugiryuu.

How is that even possible? Akali only has her smokebomb for defense and that is unreliable. Doesn´t she have passive CC reduction (depending on the opposition VERY powerful), passive lifesteal on 2 skills and a mobility skill?

So Kenshin deals true damage and siphons the life of his opponents to keep him alive...no wonder he's so friggin badass with a sword.

Okay so I'm going to tell you more than I should. Q Has a 1.0 attack damage ratio and is hilarious when you have an IE and you can port around 1 shotting caster minions

If nothing changes, probably not version 1.0

Numbers change constantly, Miss Fortune was also subpar on the Testrealm but...
How does she feel compared to say, Olaf or Mundo?
|
She's too buggy imho to give a good description and I'm not a fan of the akali (who she seems to play a lot like) so I don't know.
